GEORGE W. BUSH, OF TURTLE GREEK, PENNSYLVANIA.

COMBINED WINDOW-SHADE AND CURTAIN-POLE SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1907.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. BUSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Turtle Creek, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Combined WVindow-Shade and Curtain-Pole Supports, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to combined window shade and curtain pole supports and has for its object to provide a device of this class which shall possess superior advantages in point of simplicity, durability and general efficiency; which may be readily adjusted for the purpose of supporting shade rollers of varying lengths; which may be readily adjusted to support a curtain pole at various distances from the wall or Window casing; and in which the general construction shall be simple and inexpensive.

With these and other ends in view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the improved construction and novel arrangement and combination of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings has been illustrated a simple and preferred form of the invention; it being, however, understood that no limitation is necessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited,

but that changes, alterations and modifications within the scope of the invention may be resorted to when desired.

In the drawing, Figure '1 is a perspective view showing a portion of a window casing to which the improved supporting device has been applied. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the supporting devices. Fig. 3 is a front view of the same. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken'on the plane indicated by the line 44 in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional detail view taken on the plane indicated by the line 5-5 in Fig. 3.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by like characters of reference.

The improved device consists of two members A and B which, except that they are made right and left are of identical construction. Each of said members is composed of a base plate 1 having a forwardly extending triangular bracket 2, the upper side member of which carries a longitudinally slidable bar 3 having at its forward end a U- shaped loop or socket 4 adapted to support one end of a curtain pole. The slidable bar 3 isiconnected with the bracket 2 by means of a sleeve 5 and the rear end of said bar is provided with downturned lugs 6 embracing the upper side member of the bracket 2 with which the said bar will thus be slidably connected.

By adjusting the bars 3 upon the brackets 2, a curtain pole supported in the loops or sockets of said bars may be adjusted to positions at various distances from the walls or window casings, as will be readily understood.

Each of the base plates is provided with a struck-up portion forming a slot 7 and a bridge piece 8 which latter is offset outwardly or forwardly from the base plate so as to accommodate a slide 9 which is additionally guided bymeans of lips or lugs 10 that proj'ect laterally from the base plate and which are turned over the said slide, as will be clearly seen in Figs. 3 and 5. Each of the slides 9 is provided at its inner end with a forwardly projecting portion constituting a bracket 11, said brackets being provided with bearings 12 for a curtain roller, which latter is not shown. It will be readily understood, however, that the slides 9 may be readily adjusted so as to accommodate rollers of varying lengths.

The operation and advantages of this invention will be readily understood from the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed. The improved fixture is simple in construction, and when once applied in position upon a wall or window casing, it may be used for accommodating and supporting curtain fixtures and shade fixtures of various kinds and dimensions.

Having thus fully described the invention, What I claim as new is In a device of the class described, a base the side member of the bracket upon which plate having a forwardly extending bracket, it is supported. 10 a bar slidably engaging the upper side mern- In testimony whereof, I afliX my signature ber of said bracket and having laterally proin presence of two witnesses.

her, said slide being provided with a pole WVitnesses: supporting socket at its forward end, and a ALVEY A. J oNEs,

connecting sleeve embracing said slide and ABRAM LEwIs.
